With multiple active VMs, under memory pressure, it is possible that ttm_bo_validate() run into -EDEADLK in ttm_mem_evict_wait_busy() and return -ENOMEM. Until ttm properly handles locking in such scenarios, best thing the driver can do is unwind the lock and retry. Update preempt worker to retry validating BOs with a timeout upon -ENOMEM. v2: revert retry timeout upon -EAGAIN (Thomas) Reviewed-by: Thomas Hellström <thomas.hellstrom@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Niranjana Vishwanathapura <niranjana.vishwanathapura@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
